I was just wondering your guys feeding schedules for a male panther, about 9 or 10 months old. I have silkworms and crickets for him. the silkies are huge as well as the crickets. both full grown sizes. whats your opinion on a feeding schedule?
I just hate feeling helpless.. I try to help other members through this website. I wish they would listen and try to provide the best for their chams, because even when someone is doing it right, things can still go wrong. My advise for the day: Dont take your healthy chameleons health for...
And if you are going to continue giving him worms, you should at least try to give him the crickets/dubia before the worms. The crickets and dubia are more important in chameleon diet, in my opinion.
when my guy did this with superworms, I had to COMPLETELY stop the super worms and keep trying with crickets until hes hungry enough to take them. This may be different with your cham though. Try feeding him silk worms. Those, I have found, to be the best worm for your cham
I am only trying to help give you the info you dont know. For your chams sake and happiness. If you choose to not take it, that is your choice. Good day.
Putting the rocks at the bottom of the pot will help the water in the soil to drain thru. Putting the rocks over the top of the soil will keep the little guy from munching the soil, which i have witnessed mine doing, and kind of scares me a little. Id rather him eat what i feed him. Your temps...
in any case, the water is unnecessary for your chameleon, as it wants to drink water off of leaves, and is only in your enclosure because you think it looks cool...
And just because the pet stores dont sell screen cages doesnt mean glass ones are ok. The keepers here have all had plenty more experience with chameleons than the AVERAGE pet store keepers, who mostly just want to make money and care very little for the animals.
In my opinion, if you are concerned for his health and care about him living the best that he can, you should invest in a screen enclosure and the water in there is just going to breed bacteria all over if you don't change the water like.. everyday. And even then, you cham could fall in and drown...
